A large cadaveric study of the scalloping of normal mitral valve leaflets. As the accompanying editorial points out, it would be useful to correlate the cadaveric observations to imaging and surgical anatomy.

Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery provides outcomes that match those of conventional sternotomy without increasing use of resources, and lower costs after surgery offset potentially higher operation costs, according to a single-center, propensity-matched analysis of almost 500 patients presented at the meeting sponsored by the American Associat

This video illustrates robotic repair of mitral commissural endocarditis using a novel “bridging patch” technique.

This article summarizes the current status of robotic approaches to mitral valve repair. The technique is suitable to all types of degenerative mitral valve disease, and the outcomes are similar to those for open repair.

A refreshing , adequately supported by pragmatic imaging, 22 minute presentation from an Arizona meeting that many surgeons would find quite informative and educating. Dr.

Outcomes of robotic vs nonrobotic cardiac surgery were evaluated using 1:2 propensity score matching of patients in the Nationwide Inpatient Sample. Operations included valves/septae (10%), coronary arteries (47%), and other. Mean costs were 7.5% higher for robotic cases. Robotic procedures had shorter length of stay (5 vs 6 days), lower mortality

This is a stunning video of a myectomy and mitral anterior leaflet repair. It really shows the abilities of the robot very well indeed. Well done
